Agent commerce

Every WAVE capability is payable by an autonomous agent over HTTP-402 (x402) and the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) — no account, pay-per-use.

How it works

1. Discover. Agents read machine-readable manifests — /.well-known/x402, MPP discovery, OpenAPI, and skill descriptors — to learn what's offered and how to pay.
2. Negotiate. A resource answers HTTP 402 Payment Required with the terms; the agent decides and settles programmatically.
3. Settle. Payment settles on Base mainnet through the WAVE delegate, with sanctions screening on the path. The agent retries with proof and gets the media.

wave Dispatch (WAVE's edge AI inference & routing service) is the first live service agents pay for over x402 — proof the rails work.

Discovery surfaces

Built on the open x402 standard and MPP — agents transact the same way you use an API key.
